Random ChiefsPlanet Stats

[DaFace]

There are all sorts of stats about the forum buried in the Admin CP. I'd love to make those available to everyone, but I haven't really found an add-on that does it well. But, I'm a stats geek, so I might bump this thread from time to time with useless tidbits that I find interesting.

Since it's the offseason, though, I'll open it back up - just for you. It'll probably get closed or moved again once the season comes back around.

Awesome. This is good news. Somebody inform Simplex!

I'm not sure what's changed, but this place is rockin' compared to last year. Here's the latest graph:



At the end of Q1, we had 284,290 posts, which puts us on a pace of over 1.1 million posts for the year. Of course, we'll probably slow down a bit in the summer and speed up a bit in the fall, but overall it seems clear that this offseason isn't near as slow as previous years around here. We're currently (as of April 18) at 334,989 posts, which is a whopping 36% increase over our previous best-year at this point of 2007.

Also, here's a graph showing the number of users who log in on an average day:



It's a bit deceiving since people don't have to log in to lurk, but it's interesting nonetheless. Basically, we've got about the same number of people logging in as in 2007, but people are posting more. I agree - I blame DCS.

You didn't notice the 8 million noobs?

(The stat wasn't tracked in the early years of vBulletin.)

Can you do an April to April Graph for all the years?

Well, me going from lurking to posting again added about 60 posts a day...

My posting has increased quite a bit in the last year, I'd guess.

This takes quite a bit more effort, so I probably won't do it very often, but here ya go.



You can definitely see a change in slope last season that seems to have carried into the offseason. In fact, our 2008 Sep-Dec average is actually lower than our 2009 Jan-Apr average. This place is actually slightly busier NOW than it was during the season.
